   I had to do a research for my marketing course, during my research i came a cross a website that mentioned very dangerous compounds that can be in the skincare  and washing products, and maybe in much more. These two compounds are preservatives called PARABENS and PHTHALATES, Please do read the ingredients before you buy.
   
   Phyllis Hogan is a Southwest herbalist and educator who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona said "Over 100 studies since 1992 have demonstrated that PARABENS and PHTHALATES can disrupt hormone function. In 1998 British researchers at Brunel University discovered that parabens mimic estrogen and linked paraben exposure to hormonal disruption in both men and women. Researchers looked deeper into the paraben-estrogen phenomenon and found high concentrations of parabens in breast tumors. Long-term daily use of parabens, such as routinely applying commercial skin lotions, accumulates in the fatty tissues of the body." (Hogan, 2006) So be aware ladies, if you are worried about breast tumors, start reading about what you buy.
